their own. I he influx knocked pri-
ces down in these markets to such II
degree that il did not pay to export
even with the aid OF the bounty.
Moreover, the quantity exported did
not draw off the surplus from the
home markets. Three millions of
pools of it still remained unsold and
unsaleable, every Russian having
bought and consumed all the sugar
he wanted or could afford.
Anybody who was not familiar
with the history Of protection or the
workings of the protectionist mind
would suppose that the Russian sugar
men were now at the end OF their re-
sources; hat they would sit down and
submit to their ruin. They had had
all the protection from foreign con
petition that they asked for. They
had had all the bounty that would do
them any good. They were cut off
from the plan of making the Govern
ment buy their goods, which our sill
yer men have found so successful, be-
cause sugar is too bulky and too
perlshable TO be stored in great
quantities, for an indefinite period,
like silver. What then We're they
10 do? They called a convention to
consider the situation, ard determined
to ask for something which has been
making a great noise in Russian po-
lilics during the last six months,
namely The "Normirofka" This re-
medy is simply the restriction Of pro-
duction by law, to whatever extent
would be necessary 10 keep the price
up TO the point at which it stood
when The manufacturers made just
enough sugar TO supply the home
market. This price they called the
normal price, and they asked the
Government, therefore, to keep prices
normal, or in plain Russian TO give
them the ''Normirofka." They said
the Normirotka would be good for
everybody-the large manufacturers,
tue small ones, the refners, and trade
and commerce and agriculture gener-
ally. In short, il would grease the
wheels of industry and fill both
capital and labour with joy and re-
ioicing. The scheme was presented
to the Ministerial Council, and accep-
ted by it with some notifications, by
Il vote of IL to 5. The production of
every factory was to be so cut down
for two years that the total product
of the first year should not exceed
10000, 900 pools, of the second
10000, 600. Anybody might make
as much sugar as he pleased, but he
was lot tn be allowed 10 sell any thing
over the regulation amount. He
might eat il. or store it, or export it,
but not offer il in the home market.
At this point all looked smiling.
But in the Russian Council the En-
peror has the casting vote, and the
side he votes on always has a mq6or-
ity, whatever the figures may say.
So his vote, added 10 the minority OF
FIVE, made it tn irteen, and the Nor
mirofka was. refused. 81
Of course il would not have .done
much good, even if il Ind been grant

HE HURT HIS THUMB.
On That Ground Gleason Refused

On That Ground Gleason Refused
to Continue His Battle With
Norton.
Special to the Globe
DULUTH, May 6.-The Gleason-Norton
fight was miserable farce and failure.
which Norton won in two rounds. John
Donaldson and j. w. Curtis seconded
Norton, while Paddy Mcdonald and
Jack Mcdonald performed the same
office for Gleason. Moth, the wrestler.
was chosen referee. and, at the call of
time, both men slowly approached each
other, evidently afraid of the OPEN
ing. In thirteen seconds Gleason
let out with swinging left
handler which caught Norton on the
head. Gleason then followed by the
right which Norton avoided and the men
clinched. At this point Norton made a
palpable foul by bunting Gleason, after
which the men broke, coming together
in quick time, when Gleason again gave
Norton the left, bringing him to the
floor. Gleason went to his corner and
the men again clinched, when, it is said,
Gleason fouled by biting Norton. The
referee failed to allow it, and Gleason
received a right handler from
Norton followed by a left which
laid him out The oppOrtune call of
thine" saved him from losing. The
men went to their corners, both show
ing signs of punishment. During the
rest it was discovered that Gleason's
thumb was injured and he refused to
continue the fight, after nearly three
minuteShad been used up in a general
Kilkenny row, in which seconds, ref
cree, police officers and spectators gem
orally joined. Donaldson shouted him
self hoarSe, and the two contestants
danced around the stage making
frantic efforts TO get at each
other. At one time there were eleven
people in the ring all shouting F"oul,o
Give him show I'VE want fair
play" 1t was hippidrome, but it was
regular scrap" The fight was an
nounced as an eight-round contest, but
just before the opening call of time it
was discovered that the agreement
called for six rounds, and the change
was announced. Upon Gleason's re-
fuSal to continue the fight the referee

The Wronged man then told what a

The captain, he said, is tall, thin
man, with black whiskers mixed with

Gold, which docks at Jackson street

that the party Liepshig is seeking is the
Bogus Captain" now at the house of
correction serving a sentence of six
months for receiving money under false
pretenses. He sails under the name of
Capt. Hansen, and would not hesitate
to steal mans wife, according to his
past actions. Liepshig inquired at every

MAY BE ALIVE.
A Chicago Man, Thought to Be a
SWindIer, Not q Suicide.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Some doubt is
being expressed as to whether j. C.
Tbayer, whose crutch, with the star at
tached, was found floating in the river
a few mornings ago, was actually
drowned or not. Those who knew him
well cannot bring themselves to think
that he would commit suicide. Most of
them, in fact, seem to think that he has
taken this method to quietly get away
from the city. Mrs. Thayer, who was
seen this morning by reporter, has
heard no news of her missing husband,
OF of hir body, but, for some reason, she
holds the opinion, along with many
others, that he did not drown himself on
Monday night and is now alive. Thayer
was a member of the Knights and La
dies Of Honor, in which his life was in
sured for $1,000, but policies are never
paid until there are positive proofs of
death. He was known among his friends
and acquaintances as Col" Thayer,
and it was given out that he had been
in command of Vermont regiment. A
diligent search through the war records
of that state, it is claimed, failed to re-
veal the name of any commissioned Off
Ger corresponding to his own.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 6.-The ore
pool which was formed by the different
railroads centering in Pittsburg to con-
troll the shipment of ores from the coke
ports has been dissolved. 1t is not be-
1ieved, however, that there will be any
cutting of rates, as all the blast furnaces
had made extensive contracts. and all
the railways will have as much of this
class of freight as they can handle. The
first shipment of the season was received
yesterday. The strike i'll the coke re-
gions has caused a total suspension of
shipments of coke, and while it contin-
ues the railroad companies will have $50

GLOW KNOCKED HIM OUT.
o. III. Smith Failed to Come to
Time in the Third Round.

In the glove fight between John p.
Glow, the Omaha wonder,n and o. III.
Smith, of Duluth, at the Olympic last
night, Smith was knocked out in the
third round. Glow was in good training.
and weighed 100 pounds. Smith was
quite as heavy, but fleshy, and not in
good fighting condition. In the first
round they did little fighting. In the
second, Glow knocked Smith over twice.
once with left-hand body blow, and
again with blow in the face, drawing
first blood. Smith came up slowly for
the third round. After a little sparring
Glow struck out with his left, hitting
Smith in the shoulder and knocking him
over against the ropes. Smith came to
the center, and Glow led with his right,
landing the finishing blow squarely on
Smiths iugular. Smith lay, upon his
back for fully thirty seconds. and had
to be helped to his seat by the seconds.
By the articles of agreement Glow was
to stop Smith in eight rounds for
purse of $3.50. NJ. j. Roache, of the
Northwestern Sportsman, acted as
referee. and Pat Killen seconded Glow.
James f. Murray, of Boston, was behind
Smith. After the Knockout Pat Killen
and Glow pleased the audience with
friendly four-round spar.
